gold retaking mission

[RomaMon]

i have this feeling that im gonna need to make space for the valuables from this sunken ship, is this correct

ill also add, what am i gonna be expecting from this mission, i have the feeling its going to be like the weather stations and patrols are gonna be coming around while the diver is doing his work, do i need to be on the surface for the diver, if so, i guess ill need to sink any and all ships that come to close, if im wrong, then that'll save me the torpedoes

It's ye olde™ diver suit from the 1940s. Diving suits back then had an air supply hose running to it that supplies the diver with fresh air being pumped directly into his helmet from an air pump.

If you move your boat or submerge, the diver will have a short amount of breathable air left inside their suit before they drown. The movie Men of Honor (2000) features the same kind of diving suits and gives you a decent idea of how they work.

aright, so stay surfaced, guess any trouble will have to be sunk first, anything else?

[Dewgle]

I haven't actually performed that mission so I couldn't say if there's any scripted patrols Dx

[RomaMon]

welp, guess ill findout if that's the case, but atleast my diver is safe from drowning, in theory and hope atleast

got the gold, no trouble as i avoided a patrol that did spawn, however im unable to take all the gold, and its not for the weight, its because i cannot stack it above 50, but i found it stacked to 100, i don't know why this is nor if im grabbing this gold incorrectly thats making it not stack more

[RomaMon]

i have managed to free up more space in the hold, had some men carry some more medical supplies on them, and moved the last into the vents, now i have grabbed it all, since it seems it will not stack above 50, no matter what when on the sub

You can also transfer items into your deck gun and AA gun inventories (feature or bug?) :3

[RomaMon]

both of them are fully stocked to the brim with ammo,
my saying goes. never not take a full load

Personal suggestion:
The patrol is spawned after a trigger. So you'd better withdraw the diver immediately, deal with the patrol, and then come back for the gold (quite valuable, you can sale it for budgets).

Players boat only stacks gold up to 50. Only the cargo ships can stack 100. Just throw the valueless cargo off board and save space for the invaluable gold.
PS: You will later see cargo ships stack spare parts up to 1000. Unlike U boat, they got huge cargo holds.

hello, I've tried it once and failed: it was foggy and enemy ships came again and again, only becoming visible at short range (impossible to set up properly torpedoes).
My conclusion was: you need a full stock of acoustic torpedoes to keep them away.
Of course, the situation was terrible due to the fog :D

Avoid engagement in foggy weather. You can simply dive to track enemy movements and sneak away on the surface due to reduced visual range and radar range. The gold cargo ship wreck will remain there so pick up some gold and finish the mission, then come back some days later for the rest.
